What Are Arborist Reports & Why Are They Required?
Arborist reports are detailed assessments of trees on your property, prepared by certified professionals, to evaluate their health, structure, and potential risks. These reports are often mandatory when applying for permits to remove or preserve trees or when planning construction projects that may affect tree stability.
For example, in Toronto, removing a tree with a trunk diameter of 30cm or more requires a permit, while Mississauga’s threshold is 15cm. Navigating these bylaws can be challenging, but our expertise ensures compliance with local regulations throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Whether you’re dealing with hazardous trees, planning a renovation, or adhering to city preservation efforts, our arborist reports provide the clarity and documentation you need to move forward confidently.

When Do You Need Arborist Reports and Permits?
Understanding when arborist reports and permits are required is essential to stay compliant with local regulations and protect your property. Here are the most common scenarios where professional arborist assistance is needed:
Tree Removal
If you're planning to remove a tree that exceeds local size thresholds—like 30cm in Toronto or 15cm in Mississauga—you'll need a permit backed by an arborist report. This ensures the removal complies with bylaws and is environmentally responsible.
Construction Projects
Construction activities near trees can impact their roots, stability, and overall health. An arborist report is often necessary to assess the impact and propose measures to protect or relocate affected trees.
City Preservation Rules
With traditional methods, large trees may need to be cut and removed piece by piece, potentially affecting the surrounding ground. Cranes allow for a cleaner removal, preserving the health and integrity of your landscape, including your lawn, garden beds, and other plants.
Hazardous Trees
Trees that are diseased, damaged, or leaning dangerously can pose safety risks to your home or community. An arborist report identifies these risks and supports permit applications for removal or corrective action.
